With the release of the new National Intelligence Estimate regarding the "nukular" status of Iran, we once again face the ineradicable, troublesome question: "What didn't the president know, and when didn't he know it?"
Which is worse, a president who repeatedly lies to the nation with respect to matters of grave importance, or one who is simply so egregiously incompetent as to not require that his subordinates keep him in the loop on a daily basis?
Upon further brief reflection, it occurs that perhaps the questions are not mutually exclusive.
